Funny you ask, the paint shop just ask me that yesterday afternoon. I am putting on the carbon ceramic brakes as soon as its finished painting. Its also getting the old wheels off my C63 with a new anthracite finish. I was going to paint the calipers to match the car but I'm afraid it will be too much bling with orange car and orange calipers?? The calipers may be good with the gray finish??

I say keep the calipers grey. Or even black would look good. Orange would be too much.

If that's ^^ going to be the color of the Wheels and if you also keep the calipers in the stock form (if ^ those are the calipers) then they will just blend in and won't be noticeable at all.
I could be off cuz I haven't seen the wheels on the car yet but like someone suggested above deep blue would look dope or even bright blue.

Are the "blades" carbon fiber or black? I would try and match the blades color if possible. The dark blue sounds interesting too, would remind me of the Denver Broncos' colors though.

Very cool to tackle such a project, it is coming along very nicely.
Leaving the calipers as is would be fine, but a glossy deep blue should look really good. As a reference, look at this picture I found when going through the local powder coater's sample work...
